For your next mountain holiday, Méribel is one of the must-visit destinations this winter! A true paradise for nature lovers, the resort offers privileged access to the world's largest ski area: the 3 Vallées. From December to April, you can enjoy top-quality powder on no fewer than 600 kilometres of pistes.
In the heart of the Alps, the 3 Vallées ski area opens the door to a breathtaking world. With spruce forests covered in beautiful snow as far as the eye can see, this is one of the most pleasant settings for your mountain holidays. In Méribel, you'll also have the opportunity to see the Plan de Tueda nature reserve, which is sure to delight you in summer and winter alike.
Are you a winter sports fan in search of new sensations? As well as a spectacular panorama, the area boasts almost 350 pistes. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels are sure to find plenty of opportunities to hurtle down the slopes.
In addition to the 600 kilometres of pistes in the 3 Vallées ski area, there are plenty of opportunities for off-piste skiing. Accompanied by a qualified instructor, you'll be able to discover the most beautiful hidden spots in the area, in complete safety. Off-piste skiing exposes you to mountain hazards such as avalanches. Taking a avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe and an experienced guide with you will ensure that your outings are as safe as possible.
One of the most popular off-piste itineraries from Méribel is the Grande Rosière. Suitable for intermediate skiers, this is a great descent from the top of Pas du Lac 2, with a 1,000 metre vertical drop for maximum thrills. You'll have the chance to admire the beautiful Tuéda nature reserve mentioned above, while enjoying an incomparable sporting experience.
Make your mark on the immaculate powder snow and let yourself be lulled by the soft sound of your footsteps in the snow; the assurance of an adventure like you've never experienced before!
Every year, the 3 Vallées ski area attracts large numbers of skiing and other winter sports enthusiasts, who are prepared to travel a long way to come and enjoy the slopes of Méribel.
